Mold
Powder- or dust-like fungal growth that produces and disperses spores
How toxic is it?
There are many types and colors of mold. Most molds do not cause serious illness for healthy people. Molds can cause symptoms such as rash, itchy or runny nose, eye irritation, cough, or nasal congestion. If you have asthma or another lung disease, mold can worsen your lung symptoms. Symptoms from mold usually get better once the mold is gone.
